Default Exterior House Painting: Do You Need a Primer?

If you have done any sanding, patching etc. you are better off priming
the surface first. The primers job is to give the paint a proper
surface to adhere to.

A friend of mine has been in the painting trade for many years. He
avoids priming on a job unless the customer asks for it but he always
primes first when he's painting his own house. Draw your own conclusions.
